28 Hearts - Week One

 Hello All.

This time of year it's so hard to get motivated, but I'm getting there, and I decided to join in with Marie-Josee Brillon's 28 Hearts February challenge on Instagram.

Here are my first week's hearts.

Day 1 - Cut from a gelliprint. I used my hand-carved heart stamps on the gelliplate.

Day 2 - Gelliprinted.

Day 3 - hearts painted with ink, then I cut one out and collaged onto a teabag.

Day 4 - Layered hearts cut from gelliprints.

Day 5 - Watercolour.

Day 6 - Watercolour.

Day 7 - strips of home-made washi tape applied to cardstock, then a heart cut out by hand.

Thanks for visiting,

Now onto my 20th and final page for my February Journal Recipe Instagram collaboration with Shilpa, and today's prompts are...

Colour - Purple

Shape - Zigzag

Technique 1 - Use magazine text

Technique 2 - Paint some black circles

February Journal Recipe Day 13 and Week 3 of 28 Hearts

 Hello All.

It's Day 13 of my February Journal Recipe collaboration with Shilpa, and here are today's prompts...

Colour - Navy Blue

Shape - Teardrops or Raindrops

Technique 1 - Apply paint with your fingers

Technique 2 - Make marks around border with pen or pencil

After gluing down some pieces of collage, I used my fingers to apply the Prussian Blue and Quinacridone Gold paint. I drew teardrops and outlined the page with black and white gel pens, then added my words. Oh yes, I also added some white paint splatters :D

And here are my watercolour heart teabags for Week 3 of the 28 Hearts Instagram challenge...

Wishing you a great new week.

Thanks for dropping by,

Week Two of 28 Hearts and Day 6 of February Journal Recipe.

 Hello All. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

I have another week of watercolour hearts on teabags to share with you today.

And it's also day 6 of February Journal Recipe, my Instagram collaboration with Shilpa.

We have some Valentine's Day prompts for you today...

Colour - Red

Shape - Heart

Product - Crayons

Technique - Stencils

You must use at least 3 prompts.

Here's my page ...

I used my gelli plate and a stencil to create the turquoise background, then used a red Portfolio oil pastel crayon through a Carabelle Studio hearts stencil, adding black pen outlines and scribbled writing. The Tim Holtz Paper Doll couple stand on some fabric collage fodder, with a Tim Holtz phrase sticker.
